World Government Summit 2024 | Dubai Culture Collaboration
Designing a trophy in collaboration with Dubai Culture presents a unique opportunity to blend modern aesthetics with traditional elements reflective of the rich heritage and futuristic vision of Dubai.
The Inspiration: Al Marmoom
Researching the Al Marmoom area for design inspiration involves delving into its unique ecosystem. The desert of the UAE is home to the Pterocles (Al Qita), a bird that symbolizes truth, resilience, and courage. The design is specifically inspired by the captivating beauty of the wings of the Al Qita, which thrive amidst the challenging desert landscape.
"The resplendent crowned sandgrouse wings, adorned with intricate patterns, serve as a living canvas reflecting the diverse species and breeds thriving within the desert environment. Each feather is a testament to the flourishing biodiversity."
Craftsmanship & Innovation
The surface is adorned with subtle textures and intricate patterns, adding depth and embracing organic elements sourced from the desert. This design embodies the UAE's commitment to innovation and preserving the value of women's creations by merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design principles.
This natural masterpiece portrays a visual narrative of interconnected life forms. The wings' intricate details symbolize the delicate balance of this ecosystem, where every pattern and layer tells a story of the varied inhabitants and Dubai’s journey toward the future.
